Game DVR, the Xbox One&#8217;s system for recording and uploading footage from users&#8217; games will be restricted to Xbox Live Gold members.

This comes from an Xbox Live features page on Xbox.com, which lists features like SmartMatch, NFL on Xbox, Xbox One&#8217;s TV Guide feature and, crucially, its Game DVR feature as Xbox live Gold specific features.

We contacted Microsoft to get confirmation that Game DVR features would indeed be limited to Xbox Live Gold members. Microsoft responded, saying &#8220;I can confirm that Game DVR features will be available to Xbox Live Gold members only.&#8221;

Yeah I really don't get it. If this was Microsoft pre-180, then it was completely expected. But yeah, putting something like this behind the paywall just wasn't something to be expected of microsoft right now imo.
